bolt size help

[dirtydozen]

Im wanting to get all ano gold bolts but how do i measure them to determine what M size they are

 

[cyfa2809]

Do you have vernier calipers?

 

[dirtydozen]

Certainly do josh

 

[cyfa2809]

I believe measure the outside of the threads (you probably know how to do this) then thats your m number. So m8 will be 8mm outside thread etc.

 

[dirtydozen]

So if its 5.80 its gonna be m6

 

[cyfa2809]

Sounds about right to me.
